RESEARCH INTERESTS:

My primary research interest focuses on the communication processes of “exit” including both voluntary and involuntary forms of exit and retention in for-profit, non-profit, and volunteer organizations. Of special interest is exit in high-turnover, service industries (e.g., healthcare, shipping/logistics, and social services). Additional areas of interest include communication processes of organizational innovation, entrepreneurial organizations, transient leadership, and dialogue in the workplace. I have also conducted research on health communication, basic courses, and communication administration.
